Recreational waiver

Waiver of workers’ compensation benefits for recreational or fitness activities

Many times employers are cautious about having recreational or fitness activities at their workplaces because of the potential of an employee getting injured and filing a workers' compensation claim.

It's BWC's policy that an injury or disability incurred during voluntary participation in an employer sponsored recreation or fitness activity is not compensable if the injured worker signed a waiver of the right to workers' compensation benefits prior to engaging in the recreation or fitness activity.
